Message from the President Rosen Plevneliev and civil society in Bulgaria.

President Rosen Plevneliev addressed the people and the National Assembly, and promised civic board for fair elections to the interim government.
Elections to the 42 th National Assembly will take place on May 12 and the current National Assembly can work up to 12 March
Unfortunately, its circulation has prepared inaccuracies.
President said that street protests showed that Bulgaria has civil society.
No street protests are an expression of civil society, on the contrary, the absence of civil society.
People begin battle for civil society.
Street protests and riots are the hungry and reach impasse Bulgarian citizens.
People are now fighting for the creation of civil society.
Various academic sources and encyclopedias have slightly different wording that basically boil down to:
"Civil society is a form of society in which private interests and privacy rights are the basis of the system of relations. Private property is the material substance of civil society and freedom - spiritual.
Social Regulators civil society law and morality, and morality plays an important role.
In free civil society operate free from State control organizations of citizens expressing their interests. The state performs only the main features, leaving civil society the opportunity to self-regulate.
Chief regulator of relations between state and civil society is the law that equally applies to the state and society. "
The term "ethics" is a set of beliefs about good and evil. It is legal category. Morality in the narrow sense is recognized by a particular social group a set of rules of conduct in accordance with the economic conditions, views of right and wrong, duty and justice, conscience and honor, praise and shame.
The golden rule, anything you want men to do to you, do ye also to them. "Is a summary of what each person deep down always knew it was right.
The collapse of morale among children due to state intervention in the family, the lack of religious values, the destruction of its patriarchal values ​​and aggressive offensive mug-chalga morality. The big loser of the whole situation is normal average families.
What is the morality of journalism, our media companies. The public interest, they will work only if the public interest coincides with their own interests.
They must face the need to choose between public and self-interest and of course choose your own interest, we have seen in the last four years.
Moral and social norms form the rules governing social relations. Morality, however, is formed slowly and is more inert nature of the legal norms.
Moral norms influence the legal system in two ways:
-Some of them directly receive legal sanction and become law.
-The other moral norms that are not converted into law, serve as an additional source of law criterion of legal norms.
The justice system is not currently talk and walked the background.
Unfortunately, almost none of the demands of protesters Bulgarians will not happen without a new, truly independent judiciary.
I even quoted from me and unpopular former U.S. ambassador and a great friend of the fallen government, James Warlick:
"In Bulgaria there are two justice systems. One is for the rich people in power who remain above the law, and the other - for ordinary Bulgarians."
Immediate changes in the judicial system, for me to be one of the first tasks of the new HC and possibly VNS.No really changed for independence.
So does will eliminate the feeling of criminal impunity Elements reached the heights of power.

Once I yesterday to defend a man of power, and this the President today he disgusted me.
Yesterday I wrote: "do as Americans who support both" local sheriff "support the President of Bulgaria worst moment" in connection with the emancipation of Borisov and respect the Constitution.
Today Mr. Plevneliev is trying to escape its constitutional obligations and trying to pass the responsibility of the failed National Assembly and the parties apparently lost confidence and fulfill instructions of Borisov.
Bad and shameful.
"We need to make additional efforts by the parliamentary parties to form a new government under the present National Assembly" states a draft opinion of the Advisory Council on National Security, which today discusses the risks and threats to stability in the country after the resignation of the Cabinet "Borisov".

Bulgarian Parliament voted resignation Borisov.
Circus-rally in front of the National Assembly.

About 2-2500 organized "citizens' support GERB with whistles, whistles, flags GERD and national flags outside the parliament building and show their support for Boyko Borisov, the main transmit television.
Group of Bansko, led by the mayor were banners with "Boiko, Bansko support you."
People with working uniforms Etropole recognize that "received some support" to come to the capital.
Maya Manolova worry from the parliamentary rostrum that is irresponsible government to organize buses to bring people in Sofia today. "You lead the country towards civil war," she said to the government and said that GERB has organized a protest today and the "Positano".
Tenants who received around 1 billion, and yesterday the state and we all debt with a new loan now izpolzavat given money and tractors parked in Sofia in support of Borisov.
Lead flocks of sheep and cows.
Circus.
Different studios of television commentary is commented, it is possible to accept Borisov second term of the President, which does not seem possible.
Management of SC and GA clearly conscious of GERD delayed meeting to gather people, livestock and tractors of GERD across the country.
After the resignation, Borisov urged people to disperse the rally, not to go to "Positano" and not collide with other meetings in the evening.

No bodies, no country, protesters have to make decisions.
.
Protesting citizens are at the crossroads of all to make decisions.

In order to have peace and order, power in modern law is divided between institutions.
In normal countries the main institutions are Parliament, the President (or Monarch), government, independent judiciary, church, political parties, army, police and others.
In Bulgaria, some of the institutions have lost that status, especially in the last four years.
Church is in severe crisis, and we are not sure we will have a Patriarch on Sunday.
The army was destroyed so there is no danger for the government and military have been cleared for the second protest by the Sofia Municipality and protest government has fallen.
March against military policy reforms and ongoing layoffs will take place on February 23, Saturday at 11:00 in front of the Monument of the Unknown Soldier.
Boyko Borisov completely eliminate the National Assembly as an institution ostensibly scornful attitude even towards members of GERD.
Confidence in the police is corrupted.
Tsvetanov very successful exercise last year on judges and courts, and where he could, appoint its "Kalinka".
In 2009, people hoped in GERD as a lifeline and failure and disappointment reflects the entire political system.
Unfortunately, democracy has not invented anything better in the world.
The other is anrhiya and then some kind of dictatorship of one party or one person.
Protesting citizens are at a crossroads, now have to decide, or at least offer them.
The environments of the protest, however, has by adults and staid people, families with children looking through different political expression to the young boys of 14-18 years with a raging blood.
Consensus is almost impossible.
Hears requests for final dissolution of the parties and all the court were in power the last 23 years.
Sounds fair, but it will put everyone in a spiral of anarchy and even greater poverty.
Once it did, in the 40s.
Wants and Grand National Assembly, or roundtable similar to that of the fall of Zhivkov.
Maybe, but will remain in their current difficult situation for several years.And most likely to repeat the same old faces.
In order not to completely destroy their country, the best place to lustration all were in leadership positions in political parties, state agencies, and the lustration of all informers and employees DS absolutely all open files.
Parties themselves are hollow name, people are guilty havoc last 23 years.
Too many addicts continue to be recruited to easily pull their strings and can not be emancipated.
Certainly not to neglect and equitable claims, resignations of mayors and governors - audit of municipalities and municipal companies; won large orders, but to know that the current control and inspection bodies are irreparably corrupt.
Let's hope that "civic committees" of the protesters will be corrupt and will not overcome hatred, and there will be a sense of the future of the state.
Most likely the parties will go to early elections before "citizens' committee" to organize and present general demands.
Hardly people would be able to put many of his people anywhere, without any real organization.

Heard that tenants who have received about 1 billion, and yesterday the state and we all debt with a new loan come with tractors in Sofia, Borisov support! Information, Channel 3.
.

Resignation Borisov panic of BSE this morning. Collapse of the shares.

In the interest of Bulgaria is stopped as soon as the protests and organizing early elections to stop the growing anarchy and the probability of entering a spiral of anarchy and vandalism.

President shall propose a new term, the first of GERD, in case you quit the BSP.
Upon failure of the BSP should offer another parliamentary term force-DPS attack or Blue Coalition.
Because obviously this National Assembly has exhausted the credit of trust, expect everyone to quit, and only then proceed to the caretaker government appointed by the President.

There is another possibility, Borisov called for all-parliamentary group of MPs to resign, to put an official end to the SC and directly proceed to the caretaker government and early elections.

Now the situation is even worse because there is no regulator because Julia Ivanova (with illegal sales of cigarettes) is a retired Constitutional Court not because of GERD ladybirds.

Natural consequence in the future caretaker government to include representatives of the protesters Bulgarians in the last 11 days, actually caused the resignation of Borisov.

Krasimir Velchev said: "With the price of blood and the price of the victims in the streets, we will not remain in power," but said that GERB MPs leave the Assembly, perhaps waiting for specific instructions.

For DPS Bisserov Christo said: "If Borisov promise and really naobed resign, he said that April 28 is suitable for early elections.

Blue-koalitsiiya Ivan Kostov: said Borisov that abdicates after yesterday gave promises energy and said his resignation in favor of BSP and MRF.

Siderov "Borisov save yourself and Emblem of collapse."

Meglena Kuneva: "Prime Minister Boyko Borisov has chosen the only possible way out of the situation"

BSP will not accept a mandate from the President to form a government in the SC "

Boyko Borisov and the GERB government resigned in the National Assembly.
Today there will be no structural changes.
GERB will not participate in future caretaker government.
Borisov urged MPs of GERD do the same.
Boyko Borisov, lunch deposited resignation of the government and
said that returns power to the one who gave it to him.
Borisov could not watch Orlov most bloody and there was to participate in the business office.
We're going to make a ministerial council and resigned, were the words of Borisov. Power has given me people now give it back, ex prime minister and said again: "I ​​will work with DPS, Mr. Kostov, you are my one, Borisov said.
Borisov turned to Tsvetanov to thank the staff of the Ministry.
And: "If people want to manage state street - do it."

Boyko Borisov: from March 1st turn can reduce electricity prices by 8%, by lifting the quota of NPP "Kozloduy" that produces the cheapest energy.
Three EDCs were fined, and in today's license will be revoked, CEZ Bulgaria.
"No, I'm the one who will nationalize EDCs in Bulgaria. Nationalizing We will not. Whoever wants - to come and nationalized," said Borisov.
When asked about Djankov, Borisov said .. only had my support, because the economy and maintaining fiscal discipline are measures that do not like either ministers or people, but he was also finance minister and deputy prime minister.
Djankov coped poorly with measures to stimulate economic growth.
Was quickly discovered by the "insolent journalists" stooge of protesters and mother of architect. Pavleta Pelovska - Deputy Mayor of Sofia Izgrev appointed by GERD.
Daniela started by Pelovska crutch of GERB and SDS-Swap parties appeared as a representative of the protesters and the government counsel.
The lady threatened that if government resigned the next day will not just be a parliament, but it will be ruined.
In the familiar style of GERD, "the representative of the protesters" blame entirely Gotha, ruling coalition and asked court for their ministers.
Daniela Pelovska placed alongside Borisov throw accusations at Congress and BSP thanked the Prime Minister has considered how quickly their letter.
Daniela is Pelovska Dobrich and former CEO of pasta factory in Dobrich, General Manager of "Serdica Tourist" boss "Dobrudjanski protein" and "Grocery" LTD.
She was a member of the National Council of the UDF, leaves Blues in 2005 and went to "Modern Times."
Her daughter Arch. Pavleta Pelovska was deputy mayor of Sofia Izgrev appointed by GERD.
Why is it necessary?
And Vice President Margarita Popova regarding mass protests in the country defeated the ruling: "The explanations should give people who run today who are in positions of responsibility of each institution to make decisions and to take responsibility for that," said Popova.

Failed attempt Bulgarian government to make Europe the demands of Israel and the U.S. for Hezbollah.

The inclusion of "Hezbollah" in the European blacklist of terrorist organizations was not on the agenda at a meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels community.
Bulgaria has urged other EU countries to adopt harsh stance on the Lebanese Shiite group "Hezbollah" in connection with the bombing, which was carried out in the summer on a bus with Israeli tourists in Bulgarian resort, officials said.
According to ITAR-TASS, Sofia urges Lebanese Shiite group "Hezbollah" to be included in the EU list of terrorist organizations.
Why Tsvetanov, Borisov and Mladenov scored less hungry and Bulgaria into the trap of uncertainty and incompleteness, how much they care about the thesis of Israel and the United States remains a mystery.
Why even misused Online at "own" their President to proclaim "more convincing" and loudly to the world outstanding results of the investigation of the bombing in Burgas?
Spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry earlier said that so far, Bulgaria has presented information based on assumptions and discussion on the designation of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization can be initiated only on the basis of evidence.

Why even misused Online at "own" their President to proclaim "more convincing" and loudly to the world outstanding results of the investigation of the bombing in Burgas?
Despite pressure from Israel and the United States, Europe did not seem excited to declare Hezbollah a terrorist organization, claims Tsvetanov of unfinished investigation.
Spokesman for the French Foreign Ministry said that so far, Bulgaria has presented information based on assumptions and discussion on the designation of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization can be initiated only on the basis of evidence.
On Monday, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nikolay Mladenov will report to their European counterparts for the investigation of the bombing in Burgas made last year which Sofia blamed "Hezbollah". It is unlikely, however, foreign ministers to take action against "Hezbollah", including its entry in the list of terrorist organizations because of the differences between ministers.
The decision to specify the Lebanese Shiite movement a terrorist organization have unanimously by ministers of all 27 EU member states.
Senior sources say that if the necessary evidence to prove that Hezbollah is committed to the attack in Burgas be presented, the tendency is to impose sanctions on those who were involved in the attack, but not to declare that "Hezbollah "a terrorist organization.

Protests in Varna that go thousands of angry Bulgarians, against which was released Constabulary may escalate dangerously in Sofia and to destabilize the country.
Facebook and not very pleasant for the authorities already have social networking movement.
We get to laugh with sick ideas for nationalization of EDCs instead legislative to put them in their place and state to do its job and stop stealing.

The cost of the energy system caused by installed capacity of power plants producing energy from renewable sources (RES) are truly colossal.
Installed capacity last year were well above forecast.
The majority of PV capacity was connected to the power grid in the last 20 days from the previous regulatory period, when operated at higher feed rates, because they have caused more expenses.
Contracts for the purchase of electricity, signed the "Maritsa Iztok" two-TPP, before the "age" of EDCs, there is no clause to protect the state.
Both "Maritza" have more than 1,000 megawatts and at least 1-2% of the increase is due to them.
We hear from time to time how to sell power from Kozloduy cheap electricity is exported and sold in the country more expensive.
If the GERB government really wants to intervene urgently in the problem, do so on the issue of "general conditions" of monopoly.
Terms of contracts are used by EDCs, utilities, heating companies, mobile operators and banks.
Commercial law makes it easier, enabling them to adopt and publish these Terms, containing all the necessary provisions protecting only their interests in dealings with people.
Users are bound by the conditions that are known to them and have not even read them, and read them they are written so that they are incomprehensible.
Today Stanishev deflect accusations that the left offers nationalization as the only solution to the problems of monopolies in electricity and high bills. The New TV he rejected attacks on BSP that ideas like this seeks to restore the leadership of the Party and said that nationalization of the electricity distribution companies is the last resort. "First you need to ensure effective control over the EDCs;
Dobrev ... to track financial flows to examine privatization contracts, "Stanishev recommended.
In the spring of 2010 Borisov attack distribution companies and NEC for electricity prices.
He even allowed the termination of contracts for privatization of EDC and asked dividend to the state. Borisov vowed from July 1, 2010, electricity prices are not so high.
During the same April 2010 Traicho Traikov was against nationalization of EDCs.
"Now is not a priority of the government to nationalize the electricity distribution companies (EDCs) told then in on bTV Minister of Economy and Energy Traicho Traikov."
After first vowed to break privatization contracts with CEZ, E.ON and EVN for the power distribution companies (EDCs) because selling expensive electricity to people and were unnecessary intermediaries, later Borisov urged journalists not to use the word "nationalization" to not frighten foreign investors.
Then the charges were that the distribution companies that 40 per cent of activities of third parties, and costs are entered in the price of electricity, no regulator can check them.
In the same 2010 Bolivian President Evo Morales ordered the nationalized four power companies to increase state control over the sector.
One of the companies had a joint venture with France's GDF Suez, and the other - with the British Rurelec.
In October 2010 Volen Siderov said from the tribune of the National Assembly that electric distribution companies and mobile operator "Mobiltel" must be nationalized. Siderov called to terminate the contract with CEZ, as the company has been drained profits from Bulgaria "to food Czech pensioners. "
In 2012 Siderov position has not changed: "monopolists should be expelled from Bulgaria, the nationalist leader.
All political leaders should express their views. If they are so against "a" to continue plundering the people Siderov said and stressed that this political test will show who has the interests of the people and who is a colonial ruler or wire to foreign interests. "

SARS virus returns changed and deadly.
So far 50% of cases are lethal.

In late September, the World Health Organization warned of the discovery of a new form of dangerous respiratory virus similar to SARS, which emerged in 2002, killing more than 800 people worldwide.
The new disease is caused by the corona virus from the same family as the SARS virus, says WHO.
WHO spokesman is a completely new virus.
Experts from WHO can not explain is how to transmit the new virus.
Traditional annual pilgrimage of Muslims to Mecca and Medina, probably helped spread the virus.
British health authorities today announced the tenth case of infection with a new virus belonging to the family of the SARS virus.
Patient recently returned from a trip to the Middle East and Pakistan.
So far 50% of cases are lethal.
In 2002, China's mortality was about 10%.
SARS coronavirus is defined as a large family of viruses, (severe acute respiratory).
It is known that carriers of the virus SARS (SARS), which killed 774 people worldwide, are different animals, especially bats.
Asians eat excrement or use them for the treatment of asthma, kidney diseases and other physical ailments.

Tornado in Mississippi wounds 15 people.
Ruined the University, and several schools. Monday classes are canceled.
Many homes are without electricity has fallen tree.
Mississippi Governor has declared a state of emergency in four counties: Forrest, Lamar, Marion and Lawrence.

Rafael Nadal lost with 7:6, 6:7, 4:6 by Horacio Sebayos finals in Vina del Mar. Born in Mallorca player missed an opportunity to win his first tournament immediately after his return to the court after a seven-month absence.
Nadal lost the final and the doubles tournament. Together with his partner Juan Monaco fell 2-6, 3-6 Paolo Lorenzi and Potito Starace. Key role in meeting possibly defeat Nadal played singles.
"I miss speed of response and strength in the legs - things that I always possessed in his career. Playing with what I have, and now I have more options," said Nadal.
He added that there are days that his left knee was better, but in others it is worse. "It affects my performance."

Spending in Bulgaria's energy system caused by the installed capacity of power plants producing energy from renewable sources (RES) are massive.
The new photovoltaic plants have been the only real surprise for distribution companies because their installed capacities have been significantly above forecast.
The majority of PV capacity was connected to the power grid in the last 20 days from the previous regulatory period, when operated at higher feed rates, because they have caused more expenses.
What you said Angel Semerdzhiev and which then gave ridiculously under obvious pressure that at least 3 percent would raise the price of electricity from July 1, 2013, for renewable energy production is inevitable but will postpone the election.

Do not forget that nearly 700 megawatts before July 1, only 89 MW has licenses from regulator and all the others are connected directly by the electricity companies.
Why and how, Silence of the Lambs.
"Maritza East 1" is the largest industrial complex not only in Bulgaria but also in Eastern Europe. It consists of three plants - one state "Maritza East 2" and two private - ENI "Galabovo - Maritza East 1" and "Contour Global Maritsa Iztok-3 '.
Contracts signed for "Maritza Iztok", two thermal power plants in the reign of Ivan Kostov, no one clause to protect the state.
Both "Maritza" have more than 1,000 megawatts and at least 1-2% of the increase is due to them.
In June 2001 Ivan Kostov has signed contracts for 15 years and tied the state to buy electricity at very high prices.
The price at which NEC as a public utility buys electricity on both private TPP is two times higher than the price in the state, although the three plants have a similar mode.
So the longer period at the end of the year, the cold weather may be true but they are not the main reason.
Urgent decisions taken after protests dreaded meeting at the Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism deferred repayment of high bills can not solve the problem.
GERD impact involved only the latest "emergency" permits "green energy". The main problems are accumulated from 12 to 13 years by successive governments.
Do not we remember how it sells power from NPP Kozloduy.
She did not let lazy to search and see how Kozloduy export cheap electricity, but to us it sells more.
And who took commissions th EDC, taken.
He took commissions from renewable sources, took no traces.
It is interesting to at least see all the proud owners (RES) would be an interesting list
Possible future hypothetical re-nationalization would take the total pocket.
